Presentiments 203side of the mountains, it had been terrible hot,that their stock wanted water, that their can¬teens were empty and they very thirsty. StiUoppressed with the idea of danger at AntelopeSpring, I told them that there was no wateralong the trail, but that they could get waterat Camp Cramer; whereupon they asked me ifI could not spare them a drink out of my can¬teen. I handed my canteen to them, askingthem to leave just enough for a drink when Ireached the top of the mountain. Upon puttingthe canteen to his lips the first one took a goodlook at me and said: '' This water did not come from Camp Cramerthis hot day, for it is cold, and the can is full;what is the reason you do not tell us where wecan get water?" The fact is that I was fearful of danger atAntelope Spring, and knowing that these menwould stop there if I informed them where itwas, I had determined to deceive them, I nowsaid to them that it was for their sake that Ihad not infonhed them about the spring, but Ifinally told them that, if they would do as Idirected, I would tell them where the springwas. To this they agreed, I then told themwhy I had left the spring, and as I had antici¬pated, they had a good laugh over it, caUing mean old fogy. I then directed them to where thespring was, and cautioned them not to remainthere but to leave as soon as they had watered
